A few reflections on a beautiful and bittersweet day: I first heard Black Sabbath on my uncle’s stereo some 50 years ago. So it was surreal to stand on a football pitch with 45,000 strong to witness the end of this grand, institutional group who has touched me personally, professionally, and at times even intimately in stolen moments of work and camaraderie. Thank you Tony, Bill, Geezer, and Ozzy for all you’ve done for so many.
I owe a debt of gratitude to Sharon for asking me to take part. It was truly an honor on more levels that I could count. And to witness the passionate performances of so many in rehearsal: those I admire from afar, those I know, too, and see the translation into the near 10-hour affair of music and fellowship was something to behold. Music is of course the soundtrack to our lives, but yesterday in my estimation was something truly special. As a 3-dimensional soundtrack was being crafted in real time. All to celebrate this coming home for the band once known as Earth.
Every great journey has trials and tribulations, tragedies and surprise. Therein lies the magic, therein lie the tears. I both whooped yesterday in sheer exultation to be in the right spot at the right moment, and I wept silently as my heroes fell on their wizardly, mythic sword to bid us farewell. We have the music, and we have them in our hearts. You don’t have to be a musician to understand. But it does help, at least if you’re trying to decode that which is elusive in the cosmos.
Now the band is both here and not here; with us, and yet gone. As it should be.

Always a pleasure to share the stage with Chino Moreno (@deftones ), and I know I speak for all of SP when I say that we’ve only shared our stage with a few artists that we admire and respect.

I’ve been listening to this band for 50 years.
And there hasn’t been a year that’s gone by that I didn’t listen to them.
They’re the band that I reach for when I’m having a hard time.
They’re the band that I reach for when I want to get inspired.
I will wear these pictures of us together on my heart forever.

Always good to see my hero Rick Nielsen. I wouldn’t be in a band today if it wasn’t for the inspiration that Cheap Trick (@cheaptrick) gave me circa 1977 (when I was just 10) listening to them on the radio in Chicago.

You know, when you have children, people often ask you who’s your favorite. And I just want to say publicly, and with a full heart, that I love both my sons equally. I’m so proud of them. @mikeyway

And while I’m at it ‘tis nice to see a picture of me on stage smiling and happy as opposed to the obligatory screaming/rat in a cage shot.

If this message from Tony doesn’t break your heart, nothing will
I just can’t believe it! My dear dear friend Ozzy has passed away only weeks after our show at Villa Park.
It’s just such heartbreaking news that I can’t really find the words, there won’t ever be another like him. Geezer, Bill and myself have lost our brother.
My thoughts go out to Sharon and all the Osbourne family. Rest in peace Oz. Tony

For this debut episode of TMO, I’m honored to have sat down with @GeneSimmons of Kiss. Who has been ever gracious to myself and my band, and who has inspired me in more ways than I could count. But this doesn’t mean I go easy on Gene, as we argue some about all things Kiss, and his never-ending love of cash.

What an amazing event to be part of! And with my favorite band of all-time.
Black Sabbath Announce ‘Back To The Beginning’
Icons of Metal come together to celebrate
@OzzyOsbourne’s Final Performance
July 5th at Villa Park
All Profits From The Show Will Be SHARED EQUALLY BETWEEN Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital and Acorn Children’s Hospice
The original Black Sabbath – Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward – will play for the first time in 20 years. The band will take to the stage to headline BACK TO THE BEGINNING on July 5th at Villa Park.
The all-star event will celebrate the true creators of heavy metal and will see Ozzy Osbourne play his own short set before joining with Black Sabbath for his final bow.
“It’s my time to go Back to the Beginning... time for me to give back to the place where I was born,” Ozzy Osbourne said. “How blessed am I to do it with the help of people whom I love. Birmingham is the true home of metal. Birmingham Forever.”
Formed in Birmingham in 1968 and going on to become one of most successful metal bands of all time, Black Sabbath have sold over 75 million albums worldwide across their legendary career. Setting the blueprint for the many routes heavy metal took, Black Sabbath’s influence and importance is as vital today as it was in the early 1970s.
Music Director @TMorello said: “This will be the greatest heavy metal show ever.”
BACK TO THE BEGINNING will feature sets from @Metallica, @Slayer, @Pantera, @GojiraMusic, @Halestorm, @AliceinChains, @LambofGod, @Anthrax and @MastodonMusic
The all-day event will also feature a supergroup of musicians. Artists announced so far include @BillyCorgan (The Smashing Pumpkins), @DavidMDraiman (Disturbed), @DuffMcKagan & @Slash (Guns ‘n Roses), Frank Bello (Anthrax), @FredDurst (Limp Bizkit), Jake E Lee, @JDavisOfficial (Korn), KK Downing, @LzzyHale (Halestorm), Mike Bordin (Faith No More), Rudy Sarzo, @SammyHagar, @ScottIanthrax (Anthrax), Sleep Token ii (Sleep Token), Papa V Perpetua (Ghost), Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine), @WolfVanHalen and @ZakkWyldeBLS
More names will be announced shortly.
Tickets go on sale at 10am GMT on Friday 14th February 2025 at LiveNation.co.uk
All profits will go to the following charities: Cure Parkinson's, Birmingham Children's Hospital and Acorns Children's Hospice, a Children’s Hospice supported by Aston Villa.
